Qin Jingru didn't have much disgust with the person in front of him, so he nodded and agreed to his invitation, saying:

"Then I'll have to worry about my son leading the way."

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's really an honor for me to be able to be a guest at the house."

"Please."

Gao Lei walked in the front to lead the way, and the three of them slowly followed five or six meters behind him, Qin Yue suddenly said to Qin Feng:

"Qin Feng, you go and talk to Gao Lei for a while."

"Okay." The naïve Qin Feng didn't think much about it, and jumped close to Gao Lei, he didn't have the slightest guard against Gao Lei, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked.

"Brother Gao, you can fight me when you get home."

Qin Yue originally wanted to ask Jingru, but when he heard Qin Feng's words, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Qin Jingru knew his doubts, and whispered: "Don't be in a hurry, he may have a problem, but you can observe it first, if your actions just now are seen by him, it will be difficult to explain!" ”

It turned out that Qin Yue was very anxious when he first heard that Jingru agreed to go to Gao Lei's mansion, and hurriedly told Jingru not to go.

"You're not sure you dare to go rashly, you know, we don't even have the weapons to defend ourselves now, and we don't even have the ability to protect ourselves in case something happens."

"I'm not sure he's going to plot against him, isn't it, if he's sincere, wouldn't it be more convenient to do things later."

"Then what about Qin Ji and Qin Zhuo?"

"I can only let them wait, according to Qin Ji's character, he will definitely fill his stomach first before going."

Sure enough, after Qin Ji returned to the inn, he packed up his things, and argued with the shopkeeper for a long time, and finally asked for twenty energy forging stones, seeing that it was already noon, and the lunch bell in his stomach rang on time, he took Qin Zhuo to buy some food at the inn.

Gao Lei quickly brought the three of them to their destination, at this time an elderly man was already standing at the door, saw Gao Lei, hurriedly ran to his side, and said to him:

"Master of the year, something has changed, and the master urgently needs to see you."

Gao Lei nodded in response and said, "Well, I brought three friends who are willing to help this time, and I must entertain them." ”

"Yes, the old man will do it." he

Gao Lei also said to the three of them: "I'm sorry everyone, I need to deal with some things first, and I can't eat with a few people in person for the time being, so my Haodun Guard will lead a few activities." After saying that, he hurried into the house and disappeared.

Hao Dunwei said to the three of them kindly, "Three, please come with me." ”

Following the shield guard, the three of them first saw the apple tree planted in the center of the courtyard, which had already borne several fruits, and had already produced a few bright red fruits.

The courtyard was narrow, and most of it was obscured by the lush foliage, and the shield guard led the three to the welcoming room, and when they were seated, they were about to leave.

Qin Yue suddenly stopped Hao Dunwei and asked, "I want to go to the toilet, can you take me there?" ”

"It was my negligence that I didn't bring a few people to familiarize myself with the courtyard of the mansion first, this ...... Traders. Since Gao Lei didn't tell him the names of the three people, Hao Dunwei couldn't think of how to call them for a while.

"Oh, in the next Jingyue, that is the master of my family, and the boy is the wind."

"Then the businessman, please come with me."

Back in the courtyard, and through the side corridor, there was a larger side courtyard, with a static pool of water with clothes to dry next to it, and several screens on which the sunlight reflected what was behind them—three figures standing together.

The strange thing was that Qin Yue was not far from them, but he couldn't hear them communicating.

"Actually merchant, this is a thatched house."

It is worthy of being a big family, the thatched houses are built with high-grade materials, after Qin Yue entered it, he said to Hao Dunwei:

"I don't have to wait outside, I already know how to go."

Hao Dunwei didn't think much about it, and said: "Then I'll leave first to arrange a banquet for a few people, and please take a seat quickly after your convenience." ”

Qin Feng, who stayed in the living room, was now thinking about competing with the new friends he had just met, and he was sitting, he didn't care that this was there, he got up and was about to go out, leaving only one sentence for Jingru:

"Sister Ru, I'll go to the thatched house too."

Hearing the problem, Jingru also had to go out, which instead accelerated Qin Feng's pace, and he felt that Jingru and Qin Yue were not friendly to Gao Lei, so naturally he couldn't tell her directly.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Hao Dunwei who came back, and he asked kindly: "What do you want from the boy with the drooping hair?" ”

Qin Feng was blunt: "I want to find Brother Gao Lei." ”

Hao Dunwei put away his smiling face and said regretfully: "My young master is busy, please wait in the house for a while." ”

"Well, then I'm going to go to the toilet too."

Hao Dunwei had no choice but to call another subordinate and take Qin Feng to the toilet.

Qin Jingru saw that Qin Feng also went out, and immediately became nervous, although she was going to come to see it first, but after all, she was not sure whether Gao Fu could be trusted, and now the three of them were scattered, and she was always afraid that something would happen, she sat in the innermost part of the living room, and behind the window behind her was the connecting passage between the small courtyard and the courtyard, and suddenly, there was a slow footstep outside the door, which made Jingru's heart extremely worried, and the footsteps stopped when they reached the door.

He consciously held the chair next to him with his hand, and began to gather water energy, staring at the door, ready to throw the chair out at any time.

"Xiaofeng, where have you been?"

When this familiar voice was remembered, it was as relieved as possible, and sure enough, it was Qin Yue who walked in.

"I'm going to find my brother."

And Gao Lei actually entered the door with Qin Feng, his expression looked very complicated, as if he was using a smile to hide his painful expression.

Seeing the empty table, Gao Lei asked, "Why hasn't the food been served yet?" ”

Hao Dunwei hurriedly explained: "The old man saw that the young master had not come back yet, so he asked the kitchen not to serve food for the time being. ”

"What are you talking about, it is these merchants who are feasting, and it is not me, so why don't you hurry up and serve it."

"Yes, the old man will do it."

Gao Lei bent down and apologized to the three of them: "I'm really sorry for making you wait for a long time." ”

"No, no, this is just after the convenience, and the meal has been prepared, which is really fast." After Qin Yue finished speaking, he also gave a symbolic thumbs up.

Gao Lei understood what he meant, but instead of responding, he said to Hao Dunwei, who had just returned, "Get another bottle of good wine." ”

What followed was calmness, the three of them saw that Gao Lei didn't speak, even Qin Feng didn't talk much, this state lasted until Hao Dunwei brought up a bottle of wine, Gao Lei said: "A few people are actually pretending to be businessmen." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three members of the Qin family were instantly stunned, and Qin actually immediately returned to the state just now, and his hand slowly grabbed the leg of the chair.

Qin Yue was even more vigilant, thinking back to the figure behind the screen he saw just now, one of them looked very much like Gao Lei, obviously, they were planning to kill themselves quietly and Qin Feng.

But how did they find out?

Qin Jingru and Qin Yue both thought of someone, and they looked at Qin Feng at the same time, it was very likely that the news was revealed in the small talk between Qin Feng and Gao Lei just now before Gao Lei noticed it.

At this time, Qin Feng had a curious expression on his face, scratching his head with his hands, completely unaware that there was a pair of eyes on the left and right sides that wanted to kill him.

Qin Feng felt that he hadn't revealed anything about their origins, as for how Gao Lei would find out, maybe he guessed it himself. As everyone knows, the first sentence he said to Gao Guo - fighting against Gao Guo already made people suspicious.

Qin Yue pretended to be calm and asked, "Why do you think that we are not merchants?" ”

Gao Lei replied: "I actually have something to ask for, or rather, the Gao Mansion has a request for you, as for the specific matters, it is still described by my father." ”

After speaking, a white-haired man slowly walked in at the door, his face looked like a normal adult, but his movements were so slow, he was wearing black silk, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, thinking that he was the head of the family.

As soon as the old man entered the door, his eyes stayed on Qin Jingru's body, and Qin Yue felt that this person had some intentions.

And I only thought that this old man was a little familiar, but I couldn't think of who it was.

After the old man took his seat, Qin Yue asked, "I don't know if there is anything in the Gao Mansion that needs the help of our merchants." ”

Gao Pei said, "There are two more people with you, I wonder if I can send someone to bring the two back, and then we will discuss together." ”

Hearing this, Qin Jingru suddenly remembered a person, that person was an official who was personally promoted by her, and she recognized that person very much, and assisted her in handling too many things when she was the city lord.

When Qin Yue was still on guard, he actually took out a thing, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and said to Gao Pei: "Yes, take this thing, they will come with you when they see it." ”

Gao Pei handed over the things to his subordinates to do, and said to Qin Jingru: "As soon as you arrived in Fengya City, you asked people to wait at the west wall of the City Lord's Mansion, in fact, it was premeditated."

Qin Yue hurriedly said: "You have been sending people to follow us, so why did you suddenly want to bring us back to the mansion." ”

Gao Guo said: "Originally, we also wanted to observe you for a while, but things suddenly progressed, so we used a stratagem to bring you to the house, please forgive me, this table of meals is non-toxic and pollution-free, and a few people can eat it with confidence." ”

"You guys are trying to save those merchants."

The noon sun was particularly dazzling, and at this time, Qin Qi and Qin Zhuo were already waiting outside the west wall of the City Lord's Mansion, taking a sip of water that had just been exchanged for ten points of energy, and complaining: "It's disgusting, I must know that there are no trees on the west wall, and I am far away from the building, hey, as a result, you will also suffer with me." ”

Seeing that Qin Zhuo was silent, he said kindly, "Do you miss your father?" The county lord will definitely be able to track down the real murderer. Seeing that Qin Zhuo still didn't speak, Qin Zhuo didn't bother anymore.

Soon after, a horse-drawn carriage drove on the sparsely populated street, which was a habitual thing, but it was easy to arouse the curiosity of the people in Peak Cliff City, and the closed doors and windows were opened one by one, and they did not close them again directly, but watched the carriage's movements.

Qin Ji looked at the carriage vigilantly, and whispered to Qin Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, take your weapon, it may be here to trouble us." ”

The carriage slowly approached, and the sweat in Qin Qi's palms made him unable to hold the hammer tightly, and the two of them slowly stood up and stared at the carriage.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped in front of the two that the two were ready for battle.

But there was no one in the carriage, but the groom said, "My lord has invited you two to the house." After speaking, he also handed over a cloth bag, and there was a jade talisman on it, which was engraved with high characters.

"Gaofu? My friend is a guest at home? ”

"There are indeed three down-and-out businessmen who are guests at the house."

The suspicious Qin opened the cloth bag, and it turned out to be the order of the county king of Qin County.

Seeing this thing that shouldn't have appeared here, Qin Ji thought of something, and said to Qin Zhuo, "Let's go." ”
